"Draper's Uncle Toms Cabin CO.
That is what they call themselves
gave an attempt at an entertainment
here last Thursday evening. 1t is to
be regretted when said there was a
large audience present for they are a
fraud in every sense of the word and
judging from the way they presented
this play have not single artist in the
troupe. The elegant scenery they
brag so much about consists of dry
goods box and two chairs. They MUIR
dered the whole of the play and turned
the ridiculous into vulgar at every OPP
portnnity that presented itself. They
should be properly advertised in all
towns they visit as sell and not be
allowed to continue to reap harvest
from nothing in the manner they are
now doing.
Bob Burdette pays his compliments
to the newspaper chronic fault-linder
as follows: suppose newspaper man,
every time he heard of man who Sc
verely criticises him or his papers in
public, should retaliate by holding up
to the pubic gaze the shortcomings of
said fault-finder, what would be the re-
suit? Why, the criticiser would think
himself terribly outraged and thirst
for the editors gore. Then the poor
quill driver would get shot or shoot
somebody. The patient beast of bur-
den, the country journalist never does
this unless under great provocation. 1t
isn't because he is afraid to do it, but
because he isn't mean enough to do it.
He allows men to go around and de-
stroy his business. He hears his paper
called a worthless sheet, because its ed
itor in doing his duty has stepped on
somebody's toes. Such worthless
scoundrels shOlId receive no mercy at
